A visible security presence that protects your project.
Construction sites are busy environments with people, plant and materials moving in and out every day. When work finishes, they quickly become vulnerable to theft, trespassing and criminal damage.
Davis Security provides professional security officers and experienced dog handling teams to protect construction sites, vacant developments and high-risk environments across the UK.
Working independently or alongside our monitored CCTV solutions, our guarding services provide a visible, proactive presence that helps deter crime, manage site access and respond quickly when incidents occur.
Security tailored to your project.
No two sites are the same.
Whether you require a single security officer, gatehouse management or enhanced overnight protection with dog handlers, we'll tailor a solution around your project, programme and operational requirements.
Security Officers
Professional guarding protecting your site, assets and reputation.
Our experienced SIA licensed security officers provide much more than a visible presence. Acting as an extension of your site team, they help maintain a safe, secure and controlled working environment while reducing opportunities for theft and unauthorised access.
From welcoming authorised visitors to carrying out regular patrols and responding to incidents, our officers provide reassurance that your site remains protected around the clock.
Key service capabilities:
- Controlling access to site
- Checking visitors and deliveries
- Monitoring contractors and site activity
- Locking and unlocking site compounds
- Conducting internal and external patrols
- Recording incidents and maintaining site logs
- Responding to alarms and security concerns
- Providing a professional presence outside working hours
Canine Security
Enhanced protection for larger and higher-risk sites.
Where additional security is required, our experienced canine security teams provide a powerful visual and physical deterrent.
The presence of a security canine can help discourage unauthorised access before it occurs, while their exceptional sense of smell enables canine units to detect potential threats earlier, giving security
officers valuable extra time to assess and respond.
Key service capabilities:
- Perimeter patrols
- Site and asset protection
- De-escalation support
- Access control
- Substance detection
- Incident response
